MAR's Top 100 Films of the 1940's - Presentation Pg.2

I don't think I've seen enough movies from this decade to make a list

Sent. Some big FYC's:

A Canterbury Tale (1944), Große Freiheit Nr. 7 (1944), I Walked with a Zombie (1943), Unter den Brücken (1946), Les Dames du bois de Boulogne (1945)

I forgot entirely. I'll send a ballot tomorrow, or something

Oh honey, I've just sent it to you... It's all that Helena Maria's fault! If she had put the above message earlier then I would have seen it and sent it to you on time!

15 minutes out

Thank you to the 33 voters!!

From hard boiled crime to swoony sweeping romances to the beginnings of massive film movements. Something I always love doing... Let's start off with highlighting the movies with a single point:

The Wicked Lady
The Naked City
The Judge Sleeps Out
Sergeant York
Champion
Body & Soul
Bitter Rice

Predict our top-5 or 10

Only 4 highlighted here, due to a tie there's 6 on the next

#95

"My dear girl, you can not keep bumping your head against reality and saying it is not there."




#=92






#=92

"Haven't you enough men at your feet already?"




#=92

"We are not questioning your authority, sir, but if manners prevent our speaking the truth, we will be without manners."

my takeaway as well. 184 movies voted for and i've seen maybe 1/3 or 1/4 of 'em

Shanghai is the first standout for me, although it didn't quite make my ballot (I think I had it at #26, actually)

Oh man I had Yellow Sky at #13 - whoever showed me up with #12, you are, sure as a spur, a good soul.

I didn't vote for Nightmare Alley but I do love it-----beyond better than the del toro.
